By pulling the time frame back to 2011, Arvind Subramanian is trying to suggest that the practice of fudging had started right under Manmohan Singh’s eyes. MMS or the Congress may take serious note of this insinuation. I remember clearly that a “new method” of calculating GDP was announced in newspapers only AFTER Modi government had assumed office. I do not know if Arvind Subramanian had joined the administration by then, much less that the misleading method was introduced under his “advise”. It is heartening, however, that now it has come out from the horse’s mouth that Modi government had been misleading the country about our actual growth rate.
